In the late spring of 2014, the community of Bluff City, Tennessee, mourned the loss of Diann McDonald, a 56-year-old woman who passed away on Saturday, May 31, 2014. Born in Okaloosa County, Florida, she was the daughter of the late Daniel Paul and Alyce LaPaige Beaudin. Before her passing, Diann was an inspector with Kisor Panel System.
Her life was marked by the love of her family. She was a mother to a daughter, Sarra Milberger, and a son, Jerry “L.J.” Milberger.
Her family also included several step-children: Shane McDonald, Mac Watts, Brittany McDonald Weeks, Brandy Cochran, and K.K. McDonald. She was a grandmother to twelve grandchildren. Diann was also a sister to four sisters, Julie Smith, Rebecca Campbell, Sarah Elliott, and Brenda Strickland, and two brothers, David Beaudin and Daniel Beaudin. She was preceded in death by her husband, Bobby McDonald, a step-sister, Lisa Larscheid, and an aunt, Pat Shablak.
A memorial service to celebrate her life was held on the evening of Thursday, June 12, 2014, with Pastor Todd Ellis and Pastor Danny Case officiating. There is no information available from online sources to suggest that her death was the result of a criminal act, and therefore, no details regarding any suspects, arrests, or ongoing investigations have been reported.
